A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Amsterdam was forced to make an emergency landing at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport on Wednesday after experiencing severe turbulence mid‑flight. The airline confirmed that 25 people were hospitalized for evaluation and treatment after the plane landed safely.

Flight DL56, operated by an Airbus A330‑900neo, was carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew members when it encountered what Delta termed “significant turbulence” at cruising altitude, roughly 40 to 90 minutes into the flight. According to <a href="https://www.flightradar24.com/51.50,-0.12/6">flight‑tracking</a> data <a href="https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/delta-flight-hit-by-severe-turbulence-25-hospitalized">cited</a> by multiple aviation outlets, the aircraft reportedly climbed about 1,000 feet before rapidly descending roughly 2,300 feet, an oscillation strong enough to send drink carts, beverages, and unsecured items flying through the cabin.

One traveler recounted the ordeal on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19ZX1BfdZ1/">social media</a>, writing that what should have been “an easy trip back home … went a bit different,” describing the experience as “severe turbulence, losing altitude, feeling weightless multiple times, flying carts and getting completely soaked during the flight.” A picture he posted showed a wet mess of empty drink cups, glass bottles, sugar packets, and other items strewn about.

The passenger credited Delta’s cabin crew for staying composed and assisting passengers even while they were impacted by the turbulence themselves. “And a shout out to the brave people at Delta Airlines helping everyone through this, although they had to experience this while serving drinks,” he shared. “Emergency landing in Minneapolis… tomorrow another attempt to go home, safely.”

Delta Air Lines confirmed that 25 individuals were taken to local hospitals for evaluation and care, though the airline has not released details on the nature of their injuries. A statement from Delta said that medical personnel met the flight upon arrival to evaluate customers and crew.

“We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved. Safety is our No. 1 value at Delta, and our Delta Care Team is working directly with customers to support their immediate needs,” the airlines <a href="https://news.delta.com/delta-flight-encounters-turbulence">stated</a>.

U.S. airlines experience around 65,000 moderate‑or‑greater turbulence encounters annually, with about 5,500 classified as severe, <a href="https://ral.ucar.edu/aap/turbulence">according</a> to the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Despite that, serious injuries to passengers are about less than 20 per year, and usually involve unbuckled travelers or cabin crew during service.

Between 2009 and 2024, U.S. airlines reported a total of 207 serious turbulence-related injuries, including 40 passengers and 166 crew members. However, the year with the most serious turbulence injuries was 2024, with 23 total injuries, of which 3 were passengers and 20 were crew members, <a href="https://www.faa.gov/travelers/fly_safe/turbulence">according</a> to turbulence data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
